Kyocera Company History and Why It Matters in an Office
Kyocera’s Company History, and Why 1959 Still Shows Up in a Print Bill
Kyocera is a Japanese company that started in Kyoto in 1959 as Kyoto Ceramic Company, making fine ceramic parts for the electronics industry.
That ceramics work is why its printers use an amorphous silicon drum instead of a plastic one.
The drum is the part that wears.
A harder drum surface lasts longer, which is why Kyocera rates its long life parts in hundreds of thousands of pages rather than tens of thousands.
This article explores Kyocera Company Origin, and what that history still means for the cost of running one of its machines.
From ceramics to printers, and where ECOSYS came from
Kyocera moved into printers decades later.
The ceramics knowledge came with it.
ECOSYS, the name on the long life range, stands for economy, ecology and system solutions.
Today those document solutions reach Australian businesses through flexible Kyocera printer leasing plans.
For an office the practical effect is fewer consumables to buy and fewer parts to replace across a lease term.

The Keypoint Intelligence award, and its dates
What it does publish is the Keypoint Intelligence Most Reliable A3 Brand award for 2025 to 2027.
The first ECOSYS printer, in 1992
Kyocera entered the printing industry in 1992 with the ECOSYS FS-1500.
This began a line of hardware built to keep running costs down with long life parts.
The certifications the printers hold
ISO certifications such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 27001 emphasise Kyocera’s dedication to quality management, environmental responsibility, and information security.
The Common Criteria (ISO/IEC 15408) Certification evaluates whether the security functions of IT products are appropriately designed and implemented.
What the 2018 award was for
In 2018, Keypoint Intelligence – Buyers Lab named Kyocera the Most Reliable Colour Copier MFP Brand, with each model receiving a perfect score.
Experts praised Kyocera devices as ‘true workhorses with exceptional reliability’.
